At Studio 104, our team comprises experienced professionals from high-end fashion houses and graduates from the world’s leading fashion universities. Alongside their deep knowledge of uniform design, this unparalleled expertise enables the company to create unique and exceptional uniforms, which reflect elegance, functionality and brand story.
The uniform design process begins with a thorough discussion between the client and our design team to understand the client's vision, requirements, and expectations. We dive deep into their brand identity, desired goals for the uniforms, and any unique challenges they foresee. This conversation sets the tone for the entire design journey.
To ensure we create a design that authentically reflects the client’s brand, we ask for various forms of documentation such as branding guidelines, company values, imagery, and interior designs. These materials provide valuable insight and help us tailor the design to match the client’s overall aesthetic and environment.
A critical step in our uniform design process is the on-site visit where we immerse ourselves in the client’s environment, observe their culture, and assess practical needs. We evaluate existing uniforms, if applicable, and gain a better understanding of how the space functions. By meeting with senior staff we learn of specific uniform requirements for different roles across the business.
Building on this critical research we look to additional forms of inspiration to develop our concepts. We include visits to galleries, libraries and archives for inspiration, allowing the team to weave together historical references, materials, and creative influences. The goal is to create a uniform program that is more than just functional; it becomes a part of the brand's storytelling.
The concept is brought together with mood boards, colour palettes, fashion inspiration, key design attributes, and fabric swatches. These elements will help communicate the design vision to the client.
In tandem, the product development team begins sourcing fabrics and trims that are not only visually appealing but also practical. We regularly attend textile fairs in London, Paris and Milan to stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies, ensuring only the best materials are chosen.
With the mood boards and key attributes as a guide, we move into the sketching phase. Rough sketches, both hand-drawn and digital, explore design ideas. These preliminary sketches reflect the research and concept stage, incorporating possible fabric choices, cuts, colours, and other design details. After refining the initial designs, we create detailed fashion illustrations that showcase the final uniform concepts for each position. Accessories, such as bespoke ties, belts, pocket squares and cufflinks, are also carefully designed to complement the overall look.
For the first client presentation, the design team presents a comprehensive design. This includes visuals and commentary of the uniform concept, fashion illustrations of the range, print designs, fabric boards, and samples. This allows the client to review the design in full, understanding both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the collection.
Through our collaborative approach, we listen and gather all client feedback, which is carefully reviewed. Adjustments are made and updated designs are presented for final approval. On sign-off, we move into the production phase, where the designs are translated into garments through pattern-making and sampling.
